दीपंकरम् उपादाय वीतरागस् तथागतः ।
राहुलं पुत्रं दर्शेति एषा लोकानुवर्तना ॥ ५८ ॥

dīpaṃkaram upādāya vītarāgas tathāgataḥ |
rāhulaṃ putraṃ darśeti eṣā lokānuvartanā || 58 ||

From Dipamkara onwards, the Tathagata is always free from passion. Yet (the Buddha) has a son, Rahula, to show. This is mere conformity with the world. (58)
